Independent studio, Amsterdam, NL · Est. 2012

Brands made
to be watched.

An independent studio for identity, film and websites. We direct brands the way a director frames a shot.

The studio

Twelve directors, designers and developers making brands that hold the frame. 

No account managers, no layers, just the people who do the work.

Strategy, identity, film and build under one roof, from the first workshop to launch day.

A studio table laid with orange boxes, rolled posters and black bottles

Inside the studio

A long table, a good library and a rule that every project is reviewed by someone who did not make it.

What we believe

We do not decorate.

We direct.

A brand is a sequence of decisions seen in the right order. We frame them, light them and cut away everything that does not earn its place.

Team

The people

behind the frame

Twelve of us, split across direction, design, film and build. Here are four to start with.

Kind words

They gave us a brand we could finally explain in one sentence, and a launch film people actually finished watching.

Helena Brandt

Founder, Ember Gifting

The launch campaign tripled our waitlist in a week. They think like operators, not just designers.

Arjun Mehta

CEO, Marlow Boutique

Rare to find a studio this rigorous and this much fun. Every deliverable was ready to ship.

Mei Tanaka

Head of Brand, Press & Ink

They rebuilt our identity and our site in six weeks. Subscriptions are up forty percent.

Partner, Grove Botanics
